[QUOTE="Just_me, post: 639862, member: 128174"] Hi Notsosweet, I completely understand how you feel!! I tried counselling for 3 months and was on anti-depressants for 3.5 years. Sometimes I couldn't understand why I was feeling sad, it was like a black cloud was constantly over my head. I actually ended up quitting 2 really good jobs because I couldn't cope. At the time I didn't identify it as depression, I just thought I was fed up of my life and looked for something, ANYTHING new. I've recently started writing stuff down, like things that make me feel sad or anxious and then try to logically think of a solution or if there isn't one because it's something that's happened in the past and I'm feeling an overwhelming sense of regret then I say to myself "no! That was in the past, I can't change it and THIS is my life now". Please know that you are not at all alone. Many people with diabetes are also trying to cope with depression too. I hope this site comforts you in some way as it does me. If you're ever feeling down you can just message me and vent anything that's on your mind. I promise I won't judge and it's definitely good to vent. Hope you start to feel better soon. Just remember, tomorrow is a new day :) [/QUOTE]
